A collection of recommended autumn origami ideas for 2-year-olds! Easy to make and enjoy the fall! (21–30)
A mountain of crimson leaves with just a single fold
“A one-fold autumn mountain,” perfect for toddlers just starting with origami.
Simply fold the paper into a triangle and you’ve got a fine mountain! It’s also great practice for making triangles, so give it a try.
Don’t worry if it isn’t perfectly neat at first—mountains with a bit of irregularity have more character.
Tear red, yellow, and green origami paper and paste the pieces onto the triangle to complete your autumn mountain! Like origami, torn-paper collage is excellent for developing children’s fine motor skills, so be sure to incorporate it actively.
Chestnut that breaks on the 8th fold
Let’s make an autumn chestnut with origami.
Fold the paper in half to make a crease, then open it.
Align the edges to the crease and fold two corners so it looks like a roof.
Turn it over, fold the square part in half, then flip it back and make small folds to round off the corners.
You’ll have a plump little chestnut! Add eyes, a mouth, or patterns with stickers or pens if you like.
It’s a bit more advanced, but trying autumn leaves (momiji) and other origami together is also recommended!
kaki
How about making a persimmon out of origami—round, orange, and adorable, and delicious when you eat the real thing? First, fold an orange sheet of origami paper into a rectangle.
Next, fold the corners inward to form the fruit.
For the top, attach a calyx made from green origami paper.
The calyx involves some detailed folding, but the three-dimensional finish looks lovely.
Draw a face on the finished persimmon if you like to make it even cuter.
Making lots of them and turning your wall into a persimmon tree would be adorable too!
grapes
https://www.tiktok.com/@marshalldog2005/video/7348442816772623649Here’s how to fold a grape that tastes especially delicious in autumn.
Prepare one sheet of purple origami.
In the video, the outer side is purple and the inside is green, but if you don’t have that kind of paper, you can just color it at the end—so let’s use purple origami for now.
First, fold it into a triangle and open it.
Fold the top and bottom edges toward the center crease.
Fold the white section at the top down to slightly below the halfway point and crease firmly, then fold it back up to its original position.
Fold the whole piece to the back as is, flip it over, and you’re done! If you used a single sheet of purple paper, color the white section at the top green to make a leaf.
Rounding the corners and drawing little grape circles will make it look even more like a bunch of grapes!
Halloween garland
How about making a garland with the kids—perfect for Halloween party decorations? You can create the garland pieces by folding origami paper just four times, so it’s ideal even for two-year-olds! Draw Halloween motifs like ghosts, jack-o’-lanterns, and black cats to set the mood.
If drawing’s tricky, stickers work just fine.
Attach a string at the end and your garland is complete! Two-year-olds love adding new “I can do it!” moments.
Enjoy creating freely while soaking in the seasonal vibes.
finger fox (the hand gesture that mimics a fox)
Let’s make an origami fox you can use as a finger puppet.
Since we want it to fit on a finger, the key is to fold while creating a space for your finger, rather than folding it in the usual way.
Standard 15 cm origami paper is easy to use, but you might try smaller paper to better fit children’s fingers.
Once your fox is finished, feel free to draw eyes, a nose, and whiskers.
Put the completed fox on your finger and have fun playing with your friends!

Let’s make a super simple rice ball (onigiri) using just one sheet of origami! First, fold a black sheet of origami paper in half into a triangle.
Next, fold the top layer downward, and you’re done.
On the white rice part that peeks out from the nori (seaweed), use crayons or pens to draw any fillings you like.
Feel free to draw umeboshi (pickled plum), salmon, meatballs—anything you want.
If you paste your finished onigiri onto a backing sheet and display it, it’ll look really cute.
The folding method is so simple, you’ll want to make lots of them!
